Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chronic pain remains a significant public health concern, and profoundly affects individuals' physical, emotional, and social well-being. This Special Issue focuses on advancements in our understanding and management of chronic neuropathic pain, with an emphasis on innovative diagnostic approaches, patient stratification, and interdisciplinary treatment strategies. Key areas of interest include the role of digital health tools, real-world evidence, and the comparative effectiveness of multimodal pain management models, particularly in conditions such as fibromyalgia, postherpetic neuralgia, and complex regional pain syndrome. We aim to compile contributions from diverse clinical disciplines in order to address early diagnosis, optimize long-term outcomes, and explore emerging therapies, including neuromodulation and pharmacological interventions. This Special Issue seeks to provide actionable insights for clinicians and researchers, fostering a collaborative dialogue that shapes the future of chronic neuropathic pain management.
